Based in Wilkes-Barre, PA, Daniel (“Dan”) Hohal works as a complex claims supervisor for an insurance company. Passionate about the martial arts, Daniel Hohal earned the right to provide black belt instruction for the Tang Soo Do Association at the age of 12. If you are preparing to teach your first students, this advice will help you be a more effective instructor.

1. Understand the difference between correcting and overcorrecting form. Novices can’t be expected to get the form perfect at the first time of asking, so focus on making small corrections to technique rather than trying to get students to understand all the fine points of the technique at the outset.

2. Watch how other instructors teach and analyze the results. Consider what works and what doesn’t; then, use the information to inform your own teaching style.

3. While enforcing the rules of the dojo, don’t forget to temper your firmness with fairness. Do not allow ego to drive your instruction; remember, the lessons are for your students.

Daniel “Dan” Hohal entered the insurance sector as a claims associate trainee in 2006 and has since ascended to the role of claims supervisor at Berkshire Hathaway GUARD Insurance Companies (previously known as GUARD Insurance Group). Based in Wilkes-Barre, PA, Daniel Hohal specializes in complex and large loss cases in New Jersey and New York, and he is responsible for assigning workloads to his unit and holding monthly meetings with the company’s adjusters.

Prior joining GUARD, he served in the United States Air Force, where he had the opportunity to fly a T38 aircraft. Primarily used as a training aircraft, the T38 is built by Northrop Grumman, an aerospace company based in Virginia. Since the aircraft’s first model was introduced in 1961, over 60,000 Air Force pilots have received training in it.

A regular feature of the Air Education and Training Command’s undergraduate pilot program, these airplanes have also been used in the testing of new equipment. Further, NASA uses the planes for astronaut training, in addition to utilizing them as chase and observer planes for various programs, which resulted in T38s being a regular fixture of the space shuttle program.
